‘Margin Call’ Trailer Offers Up The End Of Days For A Corporation

I don’t know if “financial thriller” is much of a genre, but that seems to be squarely where Margin Call falls after watching this trailer. Boasting an impressive cast of Stanley Tucci, Zachary Quinto, Kevin Spacey, Carla Gugino, and Michael Nardelli, this film seems to exist largely in the confines of an office building as a failing company breaks the rules to stay afloat.

While the trailer offers that the film is “inspired by real events,” that mirrors Lehma Brothers‘ collapse, it could have easily been modeled after a half-dozen other firms. The trailer sells the film as a serious, taught drama, but the repercussions of the principals actions isn’t known. Something tells me that they won’t live happily ever after.

Margin Call hits theaters on October 21.

People love Anna Faris. It’s probably because she’s funny and pretty, not because she’s always in good movies. And according to this trailer for What’s Your Number, her prettiness and funniness are in full swing – also, the not-being-in-good-movies thing. Like all romantic comedies, What’s Your Number has a gimmick – this one is that Faris has slept with 20 guys – and she goes back to see if one of them was “The One.” Maybe one of them will be Neo!

I guess not, though, since I don’t see Keanu Reeves in this cast: Chris Evans, Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer, Ari Graynor, Andy Samberg, Aziz Ansari, Joel McHale and Chris Pratt. Oh well, I guess she doesn’t find The One until the sequel, What’s Your Number: Reloaded. I have more Matrix jokes, if you’re interested.
